If the elementalist's aegis works like existing aegis skills, which it very likely will, the wording is "damage from hits is taken from the Aegis before your Life or Energy Shield". They act basically like another layer of energy shield that depletes before life or real es. Similar mechanics around recharging if you don't take damage for a while, though I think if you let them fully deplete there is a longer wait for them to return. It's a good defensive node for just 2 points, since most builds will end up with around 20 notables without really trying. At a glance, my favorite pairing would be a stone golemancer since they already have a lot of physical mitigation and nothing critical to do with those last 4 ascendancy points.

Anyone have a quick and dirty guide to how to make the most out of harvest crafts in general? Is there some special technique?

Arrhythmia posted:"per allocated notable" is such an odd thing to scale by. Assuming that you're not trying to scale it, about how many notables does a given build hit anyways? I like it - it's an interesting way to scale power based roughly on level. Most builds will probably hit around 25-30 notables by the time they get into the 90s.

Craft your krangling currency with new "zorple" mods that each have their own table of krangling outcomes to roll on! Earn the new zorpling currency by running overlapped maps in which the terrain of two maps is combined and also decays like in synthesis! If you finish and overlapped map you gain the attention of "The Homeboy" who will ask you to run 3, then 4, then 5, up to 10 overlapped maps until there isn't any actual room to move!

Have they said what's going to happen with existing "Heist Lockers"? Should I pull my existing blueprints (probably not going to bother with contracts, except I suppose maybe L80+ ones) into regular stash, or will my heist locker just carry over? (edit: or will old bps just not work anymore, mooting the point? Not that I'm planning to play Standard, really, just for hoarding purposes I suppose.)

I just started playing again since I believe 1.0. Is there a path for a Ranger to be just Arrows everywhere fuckingwhere  ?I'm torn between Ranger and Witch(eventually Necromancer) If leagues are the best place to advance, do I want to just ignore it until I finish the actual story first?

Irritated Goat posted:I just started playing again since I believe 1.0. Is there a path for a Ranger to be just Arrows everywhere fuckingwhere Necro will probably still be the strongest ascendancy just because minions are the safest and easiest character option. Deadeye gets +2 projectiles now so that makes the most arrows. Leagues still require you to do the story. Every time. And you want to play in the league because it has the new mechanic and a functioning economy. If you want to play just mess around with builds in standard to get a feel for what you want to do on Friday when the new league starts

I'll keep plugging away with the story then.

Arrhythmia posted:The "arrows chain when they hit walls" new dead eye passive would probably scratch your itch. How it started: "A woman can change the world with a single, well-placed arrow." How it's going: "gently caress it, arrows everywhere, blot out the sky" I'm intrigued by this because it seems like I stumble into a good number of chain uniques/ mods. Maybe a deadeye chaos build w/ Gloomfang?

I'm looking forward to accidentally witnessing that dumb turtle boss who brings in the water circle while being invincible and then having to fight 3 other bosses that I can't see or defend from. Mystery Box fun: I got a bat. Edit: Can I start the guild invite train rolling? I bailed on the last league after about 4 weeks, so I'm long gone from the main guild.

Sarcastro posted:Still way better than the zero survivability (in the non-golem shell category) that Elementalist had before. I'm going to go for it for a league starter and see what happens. Fireball ignite with Shaper of Flames (duh), Bastion of Elements, Mastermind of Discord, and then I think Shaper of Storms, since making my fireballs also shock seems cool unless someone tells me that shock won't also increase ignite damage, in which case I don't know where the last two points would go. Shocks do boost ignite damage so you're good.

Golemancer actually benefits the most from the changes because now they get extra elemental mitigation on top of their phys mitigation and large health regen boosts. They can also just have a support arc or lighting orb to apply curses and shocks to the enemies. Or if you are going into a elemental golem build you can get additional exposure and slap it into an utility WoC.

basically all they did was get rid of the actually good herald node, buff golems again, split conflux into 3 different nodes, and make pendulum slightly less bad lol. it still doesnt really give any damage or defense (besides golems/aegis), and if you ask me the whole problem with elementalist was just that it was straight up weaker than assassin or necro. but what do I know I guess.

^^^ The exposure buff basically replicates the resistance penetration you used to get from heralds. The more to bosses is new though.Larry Parrish posted:basically all they did was get rid of the actually good herald node, buff golems again, split conflux into 3 different nodes, and make pendulum slightly less bad lol. it still doesnt really give any damage or defense (besides golems/aegis), and if you ask me the whole problem with elementalist was just that it was straight up weaker than assassin or necro. but what do I know I guess. They did at least make golem shell more viable with the auto-resummon, although I'm wondering what their chance of living through the crazy boss rush is. My guess is that they're still going to get splatted a lot.
